Mathematics

Answer:

x = 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

sec²x + 4secx = -4

Rearranging gives;

sec²x + 4secx + 4 = 0

Factorizing the left hand side gives;

(sec x + 2)(sec x + 2) = 0

This means that;

(sec x + 2) = 0

From trigonometry, we know that sec x = 1/cos x

Thus;

(1/cos x) + 2 = 0

1/cos x = -2

cos x = -1/2

cos x = -0.5

x = cos^(-1) -0.5

x = 120°

LAST ATTEMPT IM MARKING AS BRAINLIEST!! (Pythagorean theorem )
vlabodo [156]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is:

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

where c is the hypotenuse.

The two wires in the sketch are the hypotenuse so we just use the formula

let the wires=x

So:

{x}^{2}  =  {12}^{2}  +  {6}^{2}

{x}^{2}  = 144 + 36

{x}^{2}  = 180

x =  \sqrt{180}

x = 13.42 feet
